I love your little boy’s name & you list! A few ideas…
Maisie, Enid, Amelia/Millicent ‘Millie’, Dahlia, Constance, Winifred ‘Winnie’, Claire, Willa, Phoebe, Aubrey, Tessa, Etta, Lois, Charlene, Ivy-Rose, Bessie-Rose, Hattie, Gwen, Ada, Lena, Marla & Joy
Personally from your list I think Louise, Jane, Olive & Elsie are adorable with Rhett
Edit: I just thought of Twyla!

I like your (“contemporary Southern”) list - plenty of gems on there (love [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] especially) - but here’s how I might edit:
Give your son’s and potential son’s names, I would remove [name_f]Loretta[/name_f] to middle name only (given Rhett), probably [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] (too harsh to me to have it with [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] as well); [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] (pretty in [name_u]French[/name_u] where people say Jacque-leen with a soft Jz sound but not as pretty imo where said Jack-leen or Jack-eh-len); consider removing [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and maybe [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] or thinking about them as middles only - I might be off the mark here but with say [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] (for eg) these might be too clearly of a southern theme and it might be nice to mix up a little while still being cohesive (and context appropriate/ celebrating where you’re from). Not sure about this suggestion though - only if that helps. Would def think about taking off [name_f]Mille[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] & [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] as nickname-names and replacing with longer ones (for eg [name_u]Camille[/name_u], Eleanor/Helen, [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - though not sure would pick [name_f]Violet[/name_f] with Rhett), think about losing [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_u]Kaye[/name_u] & [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or putting them on the nickname/middle only list - I personally wouldn’t want a one syllable right after [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] (and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] too close) unless I were going to then stick to one syllable for all kids - [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is the nicest with [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] imo, [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is an unsung beauty. Lastly depending on pronunciation, think about the [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] spelling (though can see the appeal of unfussy Madelyn).
